Karisma Kapoor’s Children Intensify Challenge to Sunjay Kapur Will in Delhi High Court

The case now turns on claims that the will exists only as a flawed digital file.

Overview

  • Senior advocate Mahesh Jethmalani told Justice Jyoti Singh the purported will repeatedly uses feminine pronouns for Sunjay Kapur and contains misspellings, a wrong address, and no schedule of assets.
  • Petitioners cited metadata showing a draft created on Nitin Sharma’s device on February 10 and modified on March 17 and March 24, despite the document being dated March 21, with the original yet to be produced for inspection.
  • Filings describe the will’s circulation via a WhatsApp group and contend that two non‑mutual wills were prepared in parallel, while the named executor was allegedly not informed of her appointment.
  • The children say the document concentrates control of an estimated ₹30,000 crore estate by giving Priya Sachdev Kapur about 60% and her son 12%, leaving them with roughly 26% of the family trust; Priya’s side denies forgery.
  • The High Court has directed a verified list of assets to be filed in sealed cover and continues hearings, as related corporate issues and objections from Sunjay Kapur’s mother, Rani Kapur, add to the dispute’s stakes.
